Condition: Total annual income, including profits earned from overseas forex trading, exceeds 480,000 yen.

For details on how to calculate income tax and resident tax, and other tax-related matters, please refer to the \"Complete Guide to Overseas FX Taxes\". Unrealized gains and losses are not subject to taxation. Only realized gains and losses are subject to taxation, so unrealized gains and losses are not subject to taxation. Realized gains and losses refer to the gains and losses that are confirmed when a position is closed. Swap points, which are received when adjusting the interest rate difference between currencies being bought and sold, are subject to taxation when they are received and reflected in the account. However, cashback is subject to taxation. Taxation on FX includes cashback received from FX brokers as part of campaigns such as opening an account or making a deposit. Generally, cashback is considered temporary income and is eligible for a special deduction of 500,000 yen. Therefore, if the remaining amount including other temporary income is 500,000 yen or less, it will not be subject to taxation. Formula for calculating temporary income: Total temporary income - Total expenses - Special deduction (500,000 yen) = Amount of temporary income However, only half of the amount of temporary income is actually subject to taxation. Also, since temporary income is subject to comprehensive taxation, half of the amount of temporary income is added to other income such as salary income to calculate the tax. Based on profits including half of temporary income, salaried employees are required to file a tax return if their profits exceed 200,000 yen, and non-salaried employees if their profits exceed 480,000 yen. It's important to note that losses cannot be carried forward. Losses incurred from overseas forex trading cannot be carried forward and offset against profits in subsequent years. For example, if a loss of 300,000 yen from broker A is offset against a profit of 1,000,000 yen from broker B, taxes will be calculated on 700,000 yen in that year. […]"}
